On Wednesdays, the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association Bestseller List is published. Every week, we love to see what books have been most popular in independent bookstores around our region. As we peruse the list, we ponder patterns. Then we present this weekly feature: Thursday Themes.

Gorgeous books keep on coming! This week, it might be a challenge to showcase all the special covers and edges. Do you swoon for fancy editions?
